I got an m1 pro knowing it would be a little overpowered for my use case ( mostly web browsing and photo editing), and it’s still over powered for me. Battery is still phenomenal. I couldn’t imagine paying so much to upgrade it to the m5 pro for marginal improvement.

Even up to the S5 had those.

What would the transatlantic fiber-optic cable think about this

That was a lot.

Right, which is why I was wondering if printing it w/o serial number is less illegal. Because if it’s not, either way having it found would guarantee arrest

How would they connect a serialized part to a purchase if the serial number is completely gone? I guess 3d printing would also allow those who are unable to legally buy the parts to get them too.

Is printing a lower less illegal than removing the serial number? Must be, otherwise what’s the point other than cost?

Yeah life is fucking insane. We moved out of that house now. It was in a kind of dangerous area relatively speaking. Some people are horribly fucked up.

This isn’t necessarily true. Last year my wife was kidnapped from our home. Would have had no lead or direction if it weren’t for my neighbor’s security camera picking up the perpetrator’s truck coming down the driveway and back up it after. That was the only thing that helped me figure out what the fuck happened and for law enforcement to get her back (after a ridiculous amount of community pressure that night). That being said, fuck Ring and the surveillance state. Run your own private cams.
